My carrier is practicing the CSA guidelines. It is very bittersweet.

I have spoken with 2 or 3 people this week who have told me that their carrier has been firing owner operators and drivers due to their safety record and mvr. It could take some of these drivers years to get to a point where a carrier will hire them. According to what I have seen, many of the largest carriers have the poorest safety record. They are doing what they can to circumvent any action by the feds. I think that these carriers feel that they can improve their safety score by getting rid of problem drivers or those with dings on their mvr.

And the problem is, is that these guys that are getting canned will be unhireable until these points drop off. Which in many cases will be 2 to 3 or more years. Now what happens to a driver that has not worked in 2 to 3 years? No one will hire them unless they go back to $chool, right? Sounds like a hideous plot to plunge our nation into third world status, the lack of jobs and continual unemployment along with the crippling taxation set to take off next year. All thanks to uncle sam. |
Interesting point, JustTruckin.
I think the CSA2010 plan is a great idea. However, if it had an equal countrpart for corrective action on drivers, it would be most effective. Retraining in various areas like logging properly, "driving school" per se, and others. I'm just throwing out a few random ideas. Of course, there would be certain violations that will be unexcusable, and some with a one-time warning. Some offenses like a light out shouldn't have a point value that is close to even being referred to as modest. An accumulation of a few should be. Maybe a teeny tiny fine. But I would not want the system overran by fines of any kind. A guy that tears off a mudflap at a shipper and gets stopped on the way to the truckstop who honestly is going directly to get it fixed instead of pushing a few miles down the road would be an example of that. I welcome you guys to critique my ideas on it. |
